Goose Lane Pembroke

On the JUDP as an Ancient Monument this curved limestone wall was to the height of the first floor. It had been pointed with cement sand in the recent past which led to the decay of the rubble infill. The wall has been rebuilt by breeze blocks with a thin stone cladding. The rounded corner has been demolished to allow a door and vision for the users of the door. You can see from the photograph that there is a blue door with an ample apperture towards the rear to site the one door. This should have been considered at the Planning Application stage not when building is almost complete.

dear siras i have been a builder and resident in pembroke for over 70 years i find it hard to understand how you could make such comments? firstly this is not part of the town wall.secondly the original building on the site, was an old brick garage and loft in a dangrous condition,id just like to add that hands up to the owner for a exellent job on such a drap old place.

dear mr Campbell,after reading your comments i feel the need to reply, i think the building work is only improveing the area. maybe your time would be of better use finding out what stone has been used on the new infomation center on the commons because it is not limestone as existing, or even use your time playing bowls and leave the good people of pembroke making it a better looking town.

in reply to the last message placed from Ivor bigcook, sad to hear about the allegro, they are a fine motor. just wondering what you did with the old girl? im trying to find a near side wing for mine showing sighns of rott. shes burning a bit of oil but dam shes a good runner.please reply to let me know.

by any chance was the allegro a 1976 1300 super 4 door, because i have a near side frount wing and trackrod ends for sale, is she burning a lot of oil or is she leaking? are you restoring her. drop us a line had quite a few myself.

Allegro Club International, sunday 18th oct at patrick motor museum. great day out boys, ill be attending myself, why not drop in lots of ods and ends im sure you'll find what your looking for! good look with the build keep us updated.

sorry ivor. we dnt have a burger van at our allegro events, but a man called Mick who uses his 1974 mk1 allegro van to sell sandwiches, a very rare allegro infact, only 7 in the UK, he found it smashed up in a wall, years ago and restored her. fine example hope to see you their. forgot to post it starts at 8am

I remember your allegro hitting the wall in 1988 as I walk my zebra spot down the lane each day to go shopping. He drank some of the water that came out of your radiator and it made him sick for ages, but youll be glad to here hes fine now. probably in better nick than your old Allegro. I used to have a mule for years but as he got older he got quite frisky with old codgers normally English ones with nothing better to do than walk around town complaining. Infact he reamed one right out. Oh yes about the wall its not part of the town wall and a vast improvement on what was there hope whoever is doing it up will be very happy there.

I think pembrokes heritage is very important. I feel very strongly about keeping the community buildings and spirit very high. I am would enjoy discussing the heritage of pembroke with you. you can call me on 686224 ask for albert.

interested in the allegro club. we meet every other friday you would be very welcome. if you do not already own an allegro we have many for sale.a 1977 good runner needs alot of welding no mot or tax bald tyers and dog hairs on seats and the odd stain i dont think its piss any way its yours for 450.

hi guys looks like youve got an interesting forum going, just wondering why some bloke has wrote a load of rubbish about houses and trees on an allegro club forum, could any one answer that? any way they call me austin because i love allegro's so much.

Might interest someone on this site, just found a 1977 Vanden plas on auto trader 72000miles, leather seats, walnut dash, rear picnic trays AND a new exhaust. Sounds like a bargain at just £425. Think i might view it myself as mines loosing a bit of oil these days.

tac man did the vanden plas have a vynl roof. had one myself started to fade but i sorted it out with boot polish. the old girl is a bit bouncy on the back end can any one out their help because the pit bull keeps being sick on seats

Yes Mr b. eans had the same problem with mine bouncing in the back. You need to weight her down a bit, 2 bags of skimming should do the trick. Think the 1500 vanden plas did have a vinyl roof at one time but some one tried to take it off. Looks like an open tin of spam close up. Hope this sorts your bouncing back end out. Best of luck to the pitbull.

Might be able to help you out with some skimming. Had a couple of bags left over from my own place. You can have them for free as i also have an austin allegro and would love to be part of your club. Mines a 1500 HL (high line). Not the best looker but I wouldn't swap her for the earth. Looking for a new wing mirror for mine if you can help get back to me.

OOOOOOHhhhh!!! I lost my cherry in the back of a brown vanden plas allegro ...parked off gooses lane in 1979 ithink it was late july ..does that mean i am applicable to join your allegro club...please wn luv Betty Swollocks

ivana tinkle .i happen to have 2 new wing mirrors. would you also be interested in a tow hitch for the old girl my backend is as rotten as a skunks arse cant tow the trailer tent no more the mrs used to love the weekend trips to mertha loads of boot sales .mind you got to watch them vally commandos they stole my old girl, they only kept it for 1 day said it was a rust bucket and put £10 worth of petrol in it.they felt sorry for me.ps selling the trailer tent £150 or swap for a good welder.

DEFINATELY NOT A VIRGIN AS A PC CAUGHT ME HANGING OUT THE BACK OF MY ALLEGRO 9 MONTHS AG0 AND LET ME OFF WITH A WARNING. WHEN I GOT UP THIS MORNING THE POOR OLD GIRL WAS OUT OF BREATH BUT NOW I AM THE PROUD OWNER OF A BLUE AND A PINK SMART CAR, WEIGHED IN AT 167lb 8oz and 154lb 11oz, named them isaacs and priscilla.

any one out their fancy joining in an allegro vintage run around barry island then we could go down to pembroke and meet some of these good people (allegrow owners)and see what is going on down at this gooses lane .ps hope debbie d dallas comes.

I would like to see an allegro built into the wall at the top of ganders lane to show the visitors to our town of Pembroke something worthy to look at. ALso, I would like to see the old castle at the other end of t town demolished and used to fill up the mill pond to creat more parking space for us allegro lovers to do some midnight or even daytime dogging

dear mr thomas you are as interesting as that old git moaning about people improving the town of pembroke.get a life and have a massage off debbie d dallas and treat yourself to some extras.and i agree no benders in our club.is it true tac-man won the lottery

REPLY TO GRINGO: I know geese can live to a ripe old age, and can be of different colours to their parents but I have never heard of a goose reaching 40 ish ! I am a respectable old fart but am very much a true Allegro Fanatic - who are you to speak about the history of this ancient town and it's motormobiles you foreign nationalist. Are you also a bumper bender?

dear mr campell i live in pembroke ,have done all my life to be honest who are you and what is your goal in life.let me answear that one for you, to be the biggest pain in the arse to people you can be. well let me tell you somthing mr arse pain bloody glad to see that wall down had lotty up against it pissed up one night SO YOU THINK I LIKE LOOKING AT THAT WALL EVERY DAY.

dear mr campbell as i agreed with you on the case with that little man from the east end of pembroke trying to claim land from the mill pond and stop the people using a public footpath what a joker he was never mind he learned the hard way and lost.i feel that the building work on gooses lane is an improvment to the area. i await your comments

As a youngster I used to walk down the path detailed above. I recently tried to walk down there only to be verbally abused by an old man living towards the4 middle of the street, then the small man you mentioned came out of his house and stared at me in a most uncomfortable way. (I left never to return, what a shame great fishing down there.)

hi my name is billy got a proplem with the allegro,she seems to have lost power on the hills,smoking her guts out,and knocking like my grannys knees,also boilng on short runs (dont no about long runs petrol tank leaking)90% rust, water leaking through flool,bald tyres no M.O.T TAX,windscreen cracked ,no radio will swap for a mondeo or a mini ps they must be in good working order.

Allegro Owners ClubHi Guys great rally the weekend, glad ivor brought the burger van made for a great day sitting on the curved wall at the bottom of gooses lane sipping tea and eating a burger, enjoyed all the gossip about the good old days of austin and british leyland, bring them back.

hey thats anough of that ,mc neef used to own an allegro when he worked for the st johns.only joking about the working part.i dont think he was guilty anyway.that wasnt running on the national news more like wobling like a big fat duck.

I also have lots bof time on my hands and do alot of walking around Pembroke. I too have spotted that shifty looking little character down Little Gates Hmmmm not quite sure what to think but you wouldn't fancy him fitting a kitchen in your grannys house. Reminds me of Monty Burns.

Bush basherI av erd that tac man is fully grown tranny and what realy gets im goiing is a low voltage shock of a qualified sparky not an allegro as he claims Stand and bee counted you half chatPS bring it on teeth

boys got a 1988 montego would love to join your club but aint got the money to buy an allegro, tried to sell it but even the scrap man dont want it .do you think it would be ok if i stuck an allegro badge on it would it be ok?I no i would be an asset to your club as i am on the old king cole and got plenty of time.

Barney rubble before you try to make out your clever writing on our alegro web site you might want to learn to spell thick head. (syndrome not sindrome ha ha ha ). you stupid and i might have a hairdressers car cos ive got hair not a cats arse.

DEAR BOYS WIFE DIED DUE TO OVERDOSE.got an allegro aint got nobody to drive me about any more she was a bitch like that.looking for friendship may be more ,im a young 92 year old looking for 18-20 year old who can stick the pace and drive.no tme wasters or blokes need apply

john boy my back side, u got no balls tac-man or what?you think all us allegro owners r as dum as you,any way more important things to talk about,do u think pembroke castle is an eyesore ? i think it should be turned in to a jail just for PIKIES, stocks and all so we can throw dog shit at them ,what you think

O how wrong U R tic man i am the real Mc coy the only one pretending is yourself about your height and looks .Anyway allegro rally coming soon in aid of alhzimers cant remember when or how to spell Imsure U will have plenty to say .Has anybody seen a blacker cat than yours or even one bigger, you wet fa*t!PS no VW campers at rally espeecially white ones.
